Single malts thatRewrite the rulebook

“Only by unlearning what we know and collaborating with like-minded mavericks can we try new things, experiment, push whisky boundaries and challenge traditions” . ‒ Malt Master Brian Kinsman

The Experimental Series embodies our family philosophy of freedom and possibilities, to create a range of ground-breaking single malts.

2016 saw the release of our first pioneering expression: The IPA Experiment. In collaboration with IPA craft beer expert, Seb Jones, we created an innovative new craft ale to finish our ground-breaking single malt. An achievement never seen before by our industry.

Our second expression was our most ambitious to date: Project XX (pronounced ‘twenty’). This unusual single malt combines the top picks of our warehouse from 20 industry experts, to create an exceptional single malt that exceeded expectations.

For our third expression in the series, we found inspiration in the freezing vineyards of a Canadian Icewine maker, collaborating to bring together the complexity of our classic aged single malt with the unusually intense sweetness of Icewine.

But we haven’t stopped there. Over the next few years, we’ll continue to experiment and push the boundaries of what can be achieved with our single malt whisky.
